The survival time of liver cancer patients after successful surgery is related to the stage of the disease, the patient’s own condition, recurrence, etc. The overall 5-year survival rate is 30% to 50%, which varies from person to person. Early-stage liver cancer has a higher 5-year survival rate after radical resection, and even can achieve radical effect. Surgery for advanced liver cancer tends to have poorer results and lower 5-year survival rate. According to some studies, the overall 5-year survival rate of liver cancer after surgical resection is 30%-50%, and the 5-year survival rate of recurrent liver cancer after resection can reach 53.2%. 1. Early stage hepatocellular carcinoma: Early stage hepatocellular carcinoma has not yet metastasized, the periphery is intact and there is no cancer thrombus formation. After radical resection of the tumor, the prognosis is usually better and the 5-year survival rate is higher. 2. Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: advanced hepatocellular carcinoma usually has metastasis, and if it is combined with cirrhosis, its prognosis is usually poorer, and it often has recurrence after surgery, and its survival rate is lower than that of early stage. If the liver cancer recurs after resection, but the general condition is good and the liver function is normal, another surgical resection can be performed, and the 5-year survival rate of recurrent liver cancer after resection can reach 53.2%. It is suggested that liver cancer patients should pay attention to light diet, quit smoking and drinking after surgery, and have regular rechecks to exclude whether there is recurrence.
